Set in the same universe as Label 619's flagship series MFKZ, this standalone story follows Guada, a young teen with buried anger issues that may come from her mysterious absentee father, who she'll discover was a famous luchador wrestler... and possibly a hero who once saved the world. (MFKZ readers will recognize him as El Diablo, the leader of the Lucha Ultima who helped end the alien invasion...)
Pursuing clues to the truth, Guada teams up with one of her father's former wrestling colleagues (whom fans may also recognize from MFKZ) to set out on a therapeutic wrestling career of her own. Never mind the fact that he thought he had left that world behind him...
As Guada claws her way through the underground arenas of DMC, she refuses to be chewed up by the brutal bouts, strange powers, and bad attitudes that the city is known for.
If you haven't read MFKZ, don't worry -- this book is completely self-contained, and no prior familiarity with MFKZ is necessary! Some of the inside references might be welcome winks to those familiar with MFKZ, but none of it is necessary to enjoy this book.
This deluxe edition brings this cult‑favorite, stand-alone 208-page saga to readers in several premium formats, similar to SHIN ZERO, packed with hyper‑expressive art by Guillaume Singelin (PTSD, FRONTIER, SHIN ZERO) and Run’s razor‑sharp, multi-layered storytelling. Fans of MFKZ and SHIN ZERO won’t want to miss this!
The campaign will be launching VERY soon, and backers in the first 48 hours will get an exclusive 2-sided miniposter added to their pledge for FREE!

INT'L shipping update

– Fri, Aug 07, 2026 at 03:26:08 PM
For our international backers, here's where shipping stands:
- Asia: Inventory is heading to VFI in Shanghai for final regional distribution. This may take a few more weeks to get there and out to backers, but we'll keep you posted on that status.
- Australia/New Zealand: Inventory is heading to Aetherworks in Sydney for final regional distribution. This may take a few more weeks to get there and out to backers, but we'll keep you posted on that status.
- UK/EU: Due to some relatively recent changes in customs regulations, we have had to make a last-minute change in our UK/European fulfillment plan. Inventory will now be heading to our new fulfillment partner GamesQuest in the Netherlands. That freight will hit the water next week. Like the above international hub shipments, it will probably take a few weeks to reach their warehouse, but once it has been received there, they will turn orders around as quickly as possible. We'll keep you updated.
If you have any questions or concerns about your order, please email [email protected].
Thank you for your patience!
Shipping is almost ready to start!

Hi everyone!
Just a quick update to mention that shipping is alllllmost ready to start! QML is assembling the stretch goal bundles now, and everything is in-hand at the warehouse (except for the signed bookplates, which are right here on my desk, going to UPS this afternoon).
At this point, domestic shipping should begin in the next 2 weeks or so. We'll keep you posted! It's getting close!
We're almost done with the (free) KIM TRAUMA spinoff PDF comic, too. That will likely be distributed about the same time. It's a great bonus book, and is a really nice follow-up to the full FREAKS SQUEELE saga. 😊
In the meantime, our friends at Magnetic Press and Neurobellum are going to be launching a new campaign next week that ties into the 250th holiday celebration next week --
LIBERTY — The Arms Smugglers Who Helped Win the Revolution
This is an ambitious graphic novel project that was meticulously researched and written by JORDAN MECHNER, the creator of the legendary Prince of Persia video game series. Told in a deluxe 200+ page full-color hardcover graphic novel, this epic tale reveals the details behind the unlikely friendship that pulled off America's first black op to secure our nation's independence from the British.
This is kind of an important story, not just because of the special anniversary next week, but as a grand illustration of the European/French support of America's independence from the very beginning.
Please join this fascinating historical adventure when it launches this week! You can click any of the images above to preview the campaign and click to be notified of launch (with bonus items for pledges made in the first 24 hours)!
Digital Distribution has begun!

Hi everyone!
Happy Friday! Just a quick update to let you all know that a bunch of digital rewards have been distributed!
You may have already received an email notification from Backerkit, but if not, check your inboxes (or spam folders) this weekend. You can also check your Backerkit page directly by logging into https://freaks-squeele.backerkit.com/
Once logged in, you should see a big blue button in the middle of the page that says "Get Your Digital Downloads" -- click on that to see your personal links for each item ordered. Granted, you will only see that button if you have finished your Backerkit survey, but if you haven't, that link will also walk you through the process.
The books are hosted by Gumroad -- you will have to follow the (simple) instructions found in each download description to use your unique codes to download your files from Gumroad for free. 😊
If you have any trouble or questions about the process, feel free to email us at [email protected] -- we're happy to help!
The free bonus stretch goal comic KIM TRAUMA has not been posted yet, as we’re still working on the translation. We hope to have that finished soon, so watch these updates for news on when that free bonus item will be available.
The physical books and bonus items are still on their way from their respective manufacturers, and they're all expected to reach our warehouse very soon. The factory has fixed the stretch goal coin, so those are now on their way. They look GREAT!
Shipping should be able to start shortly once everything has arrived.
We'll keep you posted as things roll in!
Thanks, everyone!
Stretch Goals in-hand, books on their way to our warehouse
4 months ago
– Mon, May 25, 2026 at 09:08:03 AM
Hi everyone!
We hope you've been having a nice late Spring. Lots going on! We've received the majority of our Stretch Goal bonus items at the warehouse, and the books are expected to arrive in a few weeks!
Here are some warehouse photos of some of the stretch goal bonus items:
diecut bookmark
holographic sticker
embossed sticker
PVC keychain
felt school pennant
sticker sheet
The coin is also in production, and they look really good, although the design on one side is not as ordered (missing the outer ring design), so they are forging a new sample for approval now...
As a reminder, these are all included for FREE with physical pledges (along with a set of postcard prints not shown here).
We're also still working on the translation of KIM TRAUMA, the FREE digital comic that all backers will receive. That may have to follow the other digital files, which we hope to have out to you in early June. Sorry for the wait, but there's a lot of content, so it will be worth it! 😊
We expect to receive the books at the warehouse by mid-June, which is when we will lock addresses to begin fulfillment. Shipping should begin in July, assuming all goes as planned. We'll keep you all posted as those final pieces fall into place!
In the meantime, please check out the newest campaign from our production partner at Neurobellum --
It's an 800+ page, manga-inspired epic based on the cult-hit animated short by Joel Dos Reis Viegas. ABio-punk ROMEO & JULIET in the style of AEON FLUX in a neon‑lit JET SET RADIO future city. It's AWESOME, and there are two weeks left to pledge!
